Sanjay Leela Bhansali, regarded as one of the best filmmakers in India, has come up with an epic drama series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, which premiered on Netflix on May 1. Starring Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Aditi Rao Hydari and Sharmin Segal Mehta, the series also marks the return of Fardeen Khan. Koirala and Bhansali collaborate after two long decades since their last outing Khamoshi, which launched the director’s career back in 1996. One netizen, Aayush Sharma, wrote: “Heeramandi is a mesmerizing saga that pays homage to the unsung heroes of history. Manisha Koirala and Aditi Rao Hydari steal the show.”However, there were few who found the show a bit of a snooze fest, undoubtedly because of the slow pacing.
